iPad 2 powdersn0w 7.x issue tracker

[Pingzi610]

I just finished iPad2,1 7.x exploit(Both 7.0.x and 7.1.x). However, when trying to restore iPad 2 with powdersn0w, iOS4/5 doesn't work well. iOS 5 restore will stuck at "Waiting for device", and iOS 4 will crash when flashing nordata. ("Flashing firmware"). You can add the exploit to see whether this problem will emerge.

I think iOS 5 one can be worked around by enabling gasgauge-patch/multipatch flag. I'll try finding a more permanent fix

edit: actually gasgauge-patch/multipatch is currently auto-enabled when restoring powdersn0w/dra v6 on a5 devices as workaround for the 4s, so maybe its the one that causes this issue if youre using the latest version

For iOS 4, I'm not sure on this yet unfortunately

added the exploit ramdisks, hoping to receive reports from other users as well if any

i enabled it for not just the ipad2,1, but also 2,2 and 2,3 hoping that the same exploit ramdisks work for all of them

Yes, iOS 5 works fine with multipatch enabled. But iOS 4.3.3 and below 💥
I‘m using an older version since the latest one have problem enabling simplified-chinese(简体中文) after restoring(This happens after iOS 5/6 restore).

Do you think this could be the reason why iOS 4 fail?

4.3.3 and below will fail flashing firmware. but 4.3.4&4.3.5 can flash. However, reboot4 cannot work on iPad 2. Trying to use latest kit.

[Pingzi610]

Hmm.

Failed to create custom ipsw.

i pushed an update that attempts to fix some things here.. the only concern is that i removed usage of iboot32patcher's --433 flag on a5 so 4.3.3 and lower might still not work, but 4.3.4/5 should work now, hopefully
